Another inspired flash of scientific brilliance illuminating a hundred years of darkness, and at long last, a resounding endorsement of the forward-thinking methodologies of Miss Clavel:</p> <blockquote><p><cite class="blog-source">the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) created guidelines for children regarding physical activity and screen time, which includes both watching television and playing video games. The AAP has made the following recommendations: 1) boys should take at least 11,000 steps a day; 2) girls should take at least 13,000 steps a day; and 3) children should limit total screen time to two hours a day</cite><br /> <i class="blog-source">[ <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-04/ehs-sst041308.php">Study suggests too much screen time and not enough physical activity may lead to childhood obesity</a> ]</i></p></blockquote> <p>Hey, count me in, I'm <em>all for it</em> but <u>only</u> providing they confess their vocational blindspot and admit one further self-evident: <strong>the blackboard is just another 'screen'</strong>.
